    The following have failed to meet citizenship requirements as of September 2, and thus their Hall of Nations masking (if any) needs to be revoked.

    This is a long list but future purges will almost certainly be shorter. <.<

    About Us

    In a dark dorm room at Cangham University, communications major Ryan Saunders was having a crisis. He had less than 24 hours to turn in his idea for his senior project, and any ideas he had had so far had been taken by classmates. The oressure was becoming unbearable.

    Then a light pierced the darkness as his roommate, Jerry Poole, entered the room. Jerry had in hand a freshly-graded paper from another communications class. The assignment had been to write a mock news article, but Jerry's was so dripping with satire and sarcasm that the professor had failed it, noting that it “reeked worse than marsupial dung”.

    As Ryan looked over his friend's paper, the gears of his mind slowly began to turn. And thus was the Roofur Review born.

     

    Our Staff

    Ryan Saunders

    Editor in Chief, Advertising Director

    Ryan's dream is to someday make his living off the Review. Unfortunately that is a long ways off, so he had to get a real job selling advertisements for a news outlet in Cangham. He got an A on the project, by the way,

    Jerry Poole

    Head Writer, Editor

    Jerry has been writing satire since he could type. He subsists on the hatred of internet commentors and humorless professors. Since graduating from Cangham he has moved to an undisclosed location where OTBI can never find him.

    Sydney Gardner

    Technical Director

    Ryan and Jerry know nothing of how to build a website so they hold their friend Sydney prisoner and force her to fix things for them. She hasn't seen sunlight for two years. Please send help.

    Roofur Review header

    Do you have a satirical news story you'd like published? The Roofur Review--the most reliable news source in Andolia, The West Pacific, and the world--is now accepting submissions from across the region. 

    Based in Cangham, Overthinkers, the Review aims to bring some levity to the often-intense international politics scene. Because what are politics for except to be mocked? (Running a country, you say? Preposterous.) 

    Spoiler

    [OOC] Submission Guidelines:

    1. Include a name and nation for the "writer"--for example "Carl Marks, Overthinkers". The Review's in-house team, based in Overthinkers, mainly covers Andolia but accepts submissions from aspiring satirists around TWP.
    2. Ideally, submissions should have at least 3-4 paragraphs. By submitting to the Review, you grant our editors permission to edit for grammar, change titles, and/or add an appropriate photo.
    3. This is for RP articles, not articles on GP and players OOC. Examples would be "BREAKING: Fujaian sees another Fujaian" or "Darkesian government very intimidated by Crandolan tariffs".
    4. Preferred submission format is DMing me a Google Docs link (Forum or Discord), though other submissions will be accepted within reason.

    New Theme Chatter

    in The Lounge

    Posted

    I've always enjoyed the laid-back theme (or lack of such) in TWP as well, and I respect the opinion of those who wish to uphold it. But having the theme change generates some excitement, and having a set theme in general incites interest in newcomers. 

    I'm thinking back to when TWPAF unveiled the new pirate theme. Before Altino took over, we lacked a clear theme there; closest thing we had was the omnipresent anime and pinkness. When the pirate theme was unveiled, even our existing members renewed their interest and got more involved. Alti complimented this with effective recruitment drives, and TWPAF was in better shape than it had been in a while, with new stars rising through the ranks.

    By embracing a new theme, any theme, we would have a clearer direction and a way to engage newcomers. Have to remember that most new NS players come from my generation, and we're famously bad at staying interested for long. We need to give them a reason to be interested.
